In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world.

Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened.

Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life.

A past life where he was not an ordinary man…
But a ruthless mafia boss.

To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life.

Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel.

But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters.

He was just a random Extra.

With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life.

He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them.

But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. 

And to do that, he needed… Power.

"Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice."

The moment Damian's foot touched ground outside the portal… 


The pavement beneath him shattered, spiderwebbing outward in a perfect circle, chunks of concrete exploding upward as if something impossibly heavy had just landed. 


The change in environment – from the portal's dense Aura to normal reality – combined with his enhanced stats made his body reject proper control for several seconds. 


But Damian didn't seem to notice and didn't react to the broken ground or the staring officers or anything around him. 


He just stood there, supported by Ronan, his crimson eyes fixed on nothing, staring at some distant point that nobody else could see. 


"MEDICAL TEAMS! WE NEED MEDICAL TEAMS HERE NOW!" 


The SFD commander was already activating emergency protocols, his voice carrying authority that demanded immediate response. 


Healers rushed forward, green Auras flaring as they began triage, assessing injuries and prioritizing treatment.
